To mark the 60th anniversary of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, award-winning author Samuel G. Freedman, professor of journalism at Columbia University, and Norman Sherman, who served as Vice President Hubert Humphrey's press secretary during Lyndon Johnson's administration, will delve into a bit of history that bears remembrance this presidential election year. Together, Freedman and Sherman will examine Humphrey's efforts-in tandem with African American leader A. Philip Randolph-to advance civil rights in the 1940s, which set the stage for what President Lyndon Johnson, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Humphrey accomplished in the 1960s.
